CAMPUS MERE IN BATTLE RUNS, HIGH AT LIEETMG President Graham and Others Speak to Great Assembly at Old WelL 15,000 TICKETS ARE SOLD Odds for Game Generally Even With Some Conceding Caro lina Slight Edge. By K. C, Ramsay At two-thirty this., afternoon in Kenan Stadium the football teams of Carolina and Duke will clash in the, football game which will decide the championship of North Carolina, and will also de cide whether or not Jimmy De Hart can retire, from his coach ing position at Duke with having defeated Carolina once. Up until ten days ago fans were confident that the Blue Devils would break the eight year jinx and Duke supporters were offering up to fourteen points in bets, but since Thanks giving the picture has changed and many have been known to offer odds to the neighboring in stitution. Opinion out over the state is that the odds are now even, while in Chapel Hill it is believed that with a clear day the Tar Heels should be conceded the edge. ''. Campus Interest JRuns High The interest and spirit of the campus rose last night at the monstrous pep meeting at the Old Well to the highest peak of the year as 1500 students stood in the rain to hear the noted speakers on the rally program and join in with the cheerlead ers in giving the team a big send-off as they left for Sanford where" they, spent the night away fromjthe noise of the cam pus. Dr. Archibald Henderson, the first speaker at the pep rally, said that with football teams' of the South standing above the teams of other sections this year it is almost impossible for an eleven to have a perfect season. "Carolina, like : many other teams, has had its ups and " downs," said . Dr. Henderson, "but is now up and is going to rise to the top in tomorrow's game." Coach Chuck Collins in his talk indicated that he is pleased with the showing of the t;eam during the past two weeks and that he expects them to give their best performance of the year today. "The University is bigger i than football, football is bigger than the victory," said President Frank Graham, "and '.the team tomorrow is going to fight so hard and clean that if we lose we will win something bigger than the game; and if we win we will lose something bigger than the victory." President Graham also called attention to the trophy which is to be presented by the senior classes of Carolina and Duke to the winning team. Large Advance Sales ' It. was learned last night that the advance ticket sales for the game will approach 15,000 and that with good weather today a crowd of over 20,000 should be here for the game. Every effort has been made . to handle the throngs with a minimum of con gestion, twelve state highway Patrolmen and a large number of uniformed officers from near by towns having been secured for the game. Thirty-six gate keepers and 200 ushers , will be at the stadium long before the game starts to aid in seating the crowd.

Notre Dame GEORGIA Georgia Tech PENNSYLVANIA Navy MARYLAND Western Md. North Carolina meets Duke in what should be one of the hard est fought games anywhere in the country this season. The Dukemen, weary of the long line of defeats at the hands of the Tar Heels, ' have a great, smooth-running machine this year, while North Carolina, po tentially one of the strongest teams in the south, appears to have at last hit its best stride. Carolina appears to be stronger than Duke in the center of the line ; on the flanks, however, the Devils hold the edge. Lipscomb and Gilbreath ought . to wear "Fat" Adkins and Rupp down to the well-known "nub". At the I mi or A ttqo "Rnh "Rlnrlcwnnrl "Fv. sal, Mclver, and Newcombe of Carolina seem to better Werner, m-r Pofor TiinmA Thorne for the Blue Devils. The two teams split tackle honors. McDade and Under wood are as good as anything DeHart can offer at this posi tion; Carolina has been weak at left tackle all season, although Thompson and Hodges did good work iii the Virginia game. In Captain Davis and Bryan, Duke has a pair, of good tackles who play an iiriportant part on both the offense and defense. "Buzz" Rosky and Don Hyatt are one of the finest pair of flankmen in the conference. Opposing them will be Walker, Parsley, Brown and Davis. In the backfield the Tar Heels bold a decided edge over Duke.

Prep;Team Unable To Develop Scoring Punch Kiski Tallies Sixteen First Downs To Carolinians' .'.' Five. By Don Shoemaker Stubbornly resisting repeated scoring thrusts "within their five yard marker, the Carolina re serve eleven held Kiski school to a scoreless tie in Kenan stadium yesterday afternoon before half a thousand shivering fans. Only once did the Tar Heel scrubs ex hibit scoring possibilities, and then a blossoming aerial attack via two perfectly executed passes ! down the field from the thirty yard line , to Kiski s ten yard stripe withered in four fruitless line bucks. The northern prep school team counted sixteen first downs to the Carolinians' five and netted a much greater amount of yard age. Utilizing the Warner sys tem, the preparatory team slashed great holes in the Caro lina forward wall and sent backs galloping for great gains.

One of the few incompleted touchdown passes of the game came in the third quarter when Marks dropped a forty yard bullet-like heave from Kadlick on the five yard line in a clear field.

As his starting team in a grid clas sic that has assumed far greater proportions than any other clash in the state, Coach Jimmy De Hart will send an opening line up composed of his most versa tile backfield and his regular starting forwards. The trio of backs, Murray, Brewer and Mullen, who have started every Duke game this season will take the field against Carolina today. Murray will be playing his final game. Brewer will have one more to go, ana Mullen, the midget silent quar terback, will be playing against Carolina for the first time. At the other halfback post will be" Lowell Mason, former Char lotte high school star, who is a living examnle of thft theorv that persistence pays. He start ed this fall as a quarterback on the third Duke team, stepped up to the second when he attracted the coaches attention and then to the first in fast order. Mason was a valuable addi tion to the Duke backfield. He can pass and run, and is said by the Duke coaches: to be one of the best defensive, backs in the state. He is also an interference runner of great ability. The regular Duke line will start the game in Rosky and Hy att, ends; Captain Davis and (Continued on last page) oo You i lit
